Default Tire question (sorry search didnt help)

I have a 09 Sahara with 255\70\18 which are 32.1 diam and 10.2 width

will these fit - 265\70\18 which are 32.6 diam and 10.7 width.


This JK has no lift but for some reason I'm guessing the springs sits higher than most and has no rake what so ever. I want to put some beefier tires on it but at this point don't want a lift because its just a daily driver and will probably be at full flex well at least not for many years.

And when you have time to kill, check the suspension and axles/gears/etc ones just because you 'know' you really want a lift...
